From another thread (click on the photo):
"Lots of great synth players out there with most of them being keyboardists of one sort or another. I loved the the keyboard for doing traditional melodic playing but love the algorithmic systems like the Buchla and Tcherepnin even more because they are based on the idea of fundamental electronic flow (something fresh) rather than the old history of music in a new guise. Right from my beginning in 1967 I used the Moog mostly for electronic flow in algorithmic designs and compositions because that's what really fascinated me. I kept a log of what I'd learned for my PhD research dissertation thanks to the help of an oscilloscope and it become the very first published manual for the modern day synthesizer that was used globally wherever the Moog of that time was to be found. My second book THE ELECTRONIC ARTS OF SOUND AND LIGHT (now found in 380 major libraries worldwide) focused on what really interested me and informed my work. Over 500 examples of that thinking can be found on my YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0crjOP3jQnM4E4kQzcme0w"

Hang on to your seat with this one. It's designed to upset your equilibrium. Just when you think you're safe up comes another shimmy, shake, and stretch.
